Finished reading #book #shroud by #AdrianTchaikovsky

Hard to review this book:
- it's well written
- it's well grounded in science, technology and psychology
- no real thought provoking ideas, at least to me
- very very good imagining of the possible workings of an truly alien mind
- getting a bit sloppy with science and realism at the end in order to force some acceptable ending
- setting is very believable far future dystopia that "just happens to be" and remains unquestioned

I both loved and hated #Shroud by #AdrianTchaikovsky (and the dozen authors he must keep locked in his basement to churn out #scifi books for him).

Everything that happens down on the alien moon is as brilliant and mind-bending as usual for his recent novels. However, the last thing we need right now are stories that make the overthrow of planet-destroying capitalism seem even more like a fantastical proposition.

Reading Shroud, by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Very glad to have recently discovered this author, he's fantastic.

@RunalongWomble Howdy, Womble. I've just started on the upcoming new Adrian Tchaikovksy novel, Shroud (coming out late Feb, I think). Those familiar with Adrian's work will not be surprised to learn it includes some fabulously weird and disturbing alien biology!
